Hortonworks – The platform for Big Data

If you want to analyze structured and unstructured data, it is difficult to store the data in a normal database. If possible, this often involves very large amounts of data, making it a particularly expensive affair. A different way of storing data is therefore desired, and that is possible with Hadoop. Hadoop is not a database but a file system. This makes it possible to store all kinds of data. From standard database fields to unstructured emails. Hadoop is extremely scalable and works with different nodes. When more capacity is needed, a node can easily be added. In addition, Hadoop is open source, which of course has a favorable effect on the license costs

Hortonworks is the only 100% open source software vendor developing, distributing and supporting an Apache Hadoop platform suitable for use in enterprise environments. The Hortonworks Data Platform provides an open and stable foundation for large environments on which Big Data solutions can be built. Hortonworks is one of the few that also provides technical support, training and certification. More information can be found on the Hortonworks website.
